I posted earlier about a vintage quilt top that was just not flat enough to quilt

see the post here

I worked on it this week and got it all set to quilt.

First I had to cut out the extra fabric.  I pinned the top to the floor and cut it corner to corner then removed all the extra.

I had planned to sew it back together so that all the strips met up again at the corners.  They just would not do it.  the top was too irregular.   I ended up adding a strip of dark blue at the seams and as a border.

Now I need to get some backing fabric and I can start quilting.  I also need to think of something to use the extra fabric for

the widest piece is 6″ wide…there must be some use for it?  I have never made a mini Quilt…perhaps it is time.

Happy Quilting
